New CAFE rules nearly double fuel economy by 2025 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Idahotom · 02-24-2012, 01:10 AM

I just bought a Dodge Cummins diesel 1 ton, for WORK, (not to GET to work) an '87 with 279,000 miles. In an effort to get up to speed on the beast, I've been hanging out on some sites for owners of such, and though I shouldn't be I am astonded at the number who comment that they drive their 6 K pound pickup to work (at the office maybe or maybe not, point is, empty, for "basic" transportation). WTF, it's a free country but mine will be only driven when I absolutely can't cram "it" in my Yaris or All-Trac.
The mid 20's fuel mileage should make it a bit more bearable however! Some are into hypermiling and pushing 30!
